Abstract
We discuss the fundamental constants of physics in the Standard Model and possible changes of these constants on the cosmological time scale. The Grand Unification of the strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions implies relations between the time variation of the finestructure constant and of the QCD scale. An experiment in quantum optics at the MPQ in Munich, which was designed to look for a time variation of the QCD scale, is discussed.
